It will die at 65C I think.

65? I've seen them running at 80c for hours on end in the workshop. Hey its not good for them, but they still work. ;)

40c is fine for a K6, they always were hot chips.

Well the 65C I saw was off a K6-2.... I saw a K6-2+ which was rated at 85C die.

I dunno.... but hey those k6's run at like 2v+ don't they?

so if it is 40 doing nothing what do you think it will be when it is going hard

[[H]arls]

K6/2's run at 2.2v, and im pretty sure that the K6/2+'s run on 2v.

Audi, there is no such thing as a K6 'going hard' im sorry to say, but you could probably expect temps in the top 50's.

Your vegatables are weak against our meats.

The K62+ were fairly quick wernt they? Due to having 3 caches.

Hands up those who have killed K6-2? Overclocking was still new then. You won't be able to kill that mother. Go hard and enjoy the 5 seconds it has left.
